What you need to know?

[QUOTE][b]--Thats the way half the kids at my school look at it unfortunatelly.[/QUOTE][/b]Not that I'm surprised TC, but I'm glad that you separate the validity of a concept of the natural world from the way it has been interpreted by people, or in this case, how its detractors think other people interpreted it as instructing them to do bad things ("Evolution made me do it!") and believed it was the cause of some great atrocities.To their reasoning, the presence of nuclear proliferation would make most of physics empirically wrong and germ warfare would invalidate the field of microbiology.Sadly, this is not a misconception that just crops up on its own, it is being systematically and shamelessly propagated by leading Creationist organizations. These are the same groups that believe that "Scientific" Creationism should be taught as a "scientific equal" to evolution in public schools, but then these orgs issue articles about evolution being the cause of most of what has gone wrong morally since the nineteenth century.

[QUOTE][b]Then wouldn't you know it, thier response to why they are is 'havent you ever heard of Evolution?'[/QUOTE][/b]A person who would base their opinion of the presence or non-presence of God on evolution knows little of evolution or religion. I'd rather talk to a Creationist than an Atheist with that little justification for their position.
